Well , well I am back!! .. and it seems my previous blog “ Dreams work n love “ made some good points on work but very less points on dreams n love!! Thats what the reviews I got for it. I will accept all of it; I am not that good at it; but the point is my dream and love is my work.. ( as of date). So criticisms are well accepted and next time i will treat every subject well.. cheers..
I am writing this particular blog as a memoir ; so that after some years I can look back and Iwill know what I thought after completing Song of Life.
Everything has its own blacks n whites ! and lets just start with blacks!!
A junior of mine asked me right after dubbing!! “ how come you have so much of patience ; you work on everything but never displeased?”.. I promptly replied him; that I am a very impatient fellow; I took extra work because i cant afford any one else for it!! i need to do it by myself .
I pretty well know when i started the project itself; that i might have to put in these efforts!! After all u cant expect kids to rush for my work!! Waking up people is something i wont enjoy much or making those calls to everyone to reach the shooting spot either. I Just wish; i would never enter into a venture like this again!!
Not to forget the drop outs and those phone calls that went unanswered at most important times!! Man it was hell and there times i thought ; lets forget everything; just run off from this place thats the only way you get some peace of mind.
Add to this the creative part; its the most energy consuming and the juicy part of movie; the more time i spent on it the more joy i would get!! When its ur first veture ; you need to all your time spent on it; keeping 2 hours of story in your brain isn’t that easy and its the main thing I was worried about.
That job interview scene;when none turned up after my repeated requests for 2 total days!! and the times nisheshji left and especially the days when i had to fight with a girl!!
Whites!!
Well ; I learnt to face it and learnt to move along!! After all I kept in my best efforts and completed it.All this hard work ; i can treasure that; Its a life time experience!! May be I learnt some practical lessons; on whom i need to depend on work. There are people who called me up at mid night to update the work!! Man I loved it; I take it as an honour to work with you and I consider them always in my team!! No doubt about that!!
Thats what after all we need to learn ; just keep working on target and forget about the results!! And I did get some some positive reviews for my efforts and may be i can get some better oppurtunities to!! Lets see... Hope and Hope!!
An ofcourse the lessons on running the story; watching it again n again I learnt new ways to improve my technique of stoy telling!! And i also learnt what i need study more
No more blacks and no more whites!! When at work neither i like to pamper nor prefer getting pampered!! Once out... its all about nature .. and getting pampered!! My mom still complains in home why the hell i took up some private work!! You can even do your properly!! Well well thats a very good compliment!! Lets lose caps; pens combs who really cares if u r good enough to forget ur good enough to live!! Not to mention those drenches in rain!! And to enjoy those drives with father!! Listening to music!!
Must say its a treat to watch people !! its just so beautiful..
I was walking through a place where a ganesh idol was kept!! Songs are in its full flow!! And this small kid is dancing for sometime and then praying for sometime and dancing again!! Definitely she cant think !! and some people may complain thats brain wash.. but still it was such a beautiful thing to watch the small girl dance!!
One more !! one more!! I was walking to my training centre when i was working in IBM. I saw this small girl in school crying not to go to school!! Well well i wanted to tell her; if u cry ur mom will listen ; if i cry everyone will laugh!! Haha.. after all who doesn’t want to be pampered ;
Just met some of my friends of college !! we were the same old asses absolutely no change!! Raj as usual talkative; vijay ji man with jokes; myself sometimes dumb and sometimes full of energies and rahulji.. same old fellow!!
It seems i find very funny and interesting people where ever i go!! Lol
Always a pleasure.. and add to this start reading a PG Wodehouse (esp Psmith)// u will find yourself in heaven!!
3 cheers
Keep rockin
Yours

Dreams , Work and Love!!
This blog is a pure experiment!! May be I just wrote this here to read it again after some years and to understand my thoughts at this time!! Comments are absolutely welcome.
I am in absolute peace!! Almost an year’s work is behind me; and to think that its ready and I was there almost in every part of its making; its such a beautiful feeling!! Yes I need to work on promotion and all for some more months; i am working on it. But once done —all I dream of is a big break!! I want to stop everything (writing;thinking ,dreaming or any other thing .. i just wanna travel and feel the beauty of nature for some days and listen some good music.. before I start with a new project!!
Dreams:
I love them. As a Kid He-man fascinated me; I dreamt doing all those adventures myself; when i grew up a bit i dreamt of scoring 1800 runs in a one day match; i used to take a small bat swing it everytime imagining hitting a six for every ball. After that i really started observing my surroundings and my love changed .It was movies and books..I literally live in my stories almost dreaming of them always!!
Work:
I was talking to a friend of mine; an aspiring film maker like me who completed his shooting part of a movie. He said “Isnt this frustrating; the gaps in between; we need for long gaps either waiting for money or proper dates to start our post production? Its tyring me!!?”
I clearly understood his point; I myself suffered and still am suffering from the same troubles!! I need to wait for some days just for the post production house to gimme a date to work; low budget means less importance ; that too we work from evening 6 to afternoon six!! Similar probs with capital too. Worst thing is you cant even plan a trip in between ; because you have to be ready when you get a call to start your work!! So only thing you can do is to keep on waiting; with your cell phone next to you dreaming expecting a call everyday till you start off. Working on promotion especially is a waiting job; you need to wait till someone will come up with a contact and wait till he responds to you once you contact him!! But then this is what life is all about; learning to get the best of everything and getting prepared for everything!! Thats where the fun lies ; finding solutions to everything; may be to work on new stories in the free time or learn some technical stuff or just to have some fun. Looking back the best moments weren’t the times i spent carelessly but the times i really thought for myself and came up with something!! I loved the moments when spent in the nearby houses to make a documentary for Kartavya and the times I spent on writing the scripts of Anecdote and Song of life. Of course shooting times are the best; because you see the result out there of what you planned till now!!
All I wanna do now is to sell ‘song of life’ to a reasonable price and to start up again as an asst to some director; so many things to learn!!; what particular lenses must be used for a particular shot ( not to mention that you need have the dimensions of the set in your mind!!) and what colour lighting to use to get the best emotion and whether to use a close –up or semi close –up in the particular shot; Oh my god; I feel like a kid entering high school, so much to learn. It almost takes me three more years to learn the basics of this work and the ability to remember the total story in mind sequentially .
If you can keep this much of effort you cant compromise your story; and with your narration ; it had to be what you really wanna show there not what others tell you to do!! And you expect a team equally dedicated. I just hope I will do it like this..with an excellent team!!
Love:
Getting to the other topic; its one of the topics I never wrote about; even now I prefer not to write anything on ‘Love’ because thats one of the complicated things I have ever seen; but I was very much inspired to write something on love after reading ‘one hundred years of solitude’. Anyways I would have written something on it someday; let that be today itself.
If some calls me asks me for my welfare and my projects ; that’s acceptable love; I will be very happy for that .may be thats love.. i could accept. If someone calls me and says “ your friends are earning like hell; and you are doing nothing except roaming” i can understand he is thinking about me for my welfare; but that’s unacceptable.
passion . Most of the things associated with passion doesn’t have a logic.
Let me start with a story I read; Guy studying MBBS fell in love with a girl; she too loved him; everything happy; girls parents came to know about this ; so thought of marrying her to some other fellow; the pair try to elope; the girls parents caught her and married to another fellow; finally she wrote a letter to the guy “ I cant fight any more; but I loved you a lot; promise me one thing !! you would never forget your goal; you study well and become a doctor!!”. He did become a doctor and he wrote the story dedicating his degree for her.
When I read the story; I thought its absolutely hilarious. Because I cant imagine a guy who study for his girl friend ; thats just not my kind of story.
But then there is something about passion in this story; they liked each other a lot . and this happens very occasionally. As i said it never follows a logic.
We can dig deep into this; but i take it as a starter; and continue it some other time!!
Keep rockin

Poem!!
A junior sent me this poem!! superb one ....
A mother's dream
As I slept one night I saw this dream
Which further increased my vexation
I dreamt I was going somewhere on the way
Dark it was and impossible to find the way
Trembling all over with fear I was
Difficult to take even a step with fear was
With some courage as I forward moved
I saw some boys as lined in nice array
Dressed in emerald-like raiment they were
Carrying lighted lamps in their hands they were
They were going quietly behind each other
No one knew where they were to go
Involved in this thought was I
When in this troupe my son saw I
He was walking at the back, and was not walking fast
The lamp he had in his hand was not lighted
Recognizing him I said "O My dear!
Where have you come leaving me there?
Restless due to separation I am
Weeping every day for ever I am
You did not care even a little for me
What loyalty you showed, you left me"!
As the child saw the distress in me
He replied thus, turning around to me
"The separation from me makes you cry
Not least little good does this to me"
He remained quiet for a while after talking
Showing me the lamp then he started talking
"Do you understand what happened to this?
Your tears have extinguished this"!

Monsoon Chit Chat...
When I started from Howrah to Hyderabad I decided to take a break atleast for 4 -5 months before working on anything except marketing ‘song of life’!! But I think writing is something I really got addicted to and here I am back again working on my new blog!!
Of course all credit goes to the weather in Hyderabad!! Its raining here for the past ten days!! And its real fun. I am absolutely replenished. And work is also going great!! So no complaints on anything.. All I do in my free time is to sit on the cement bench next to the road and watch people walking on the road near banjara hills.
As I am in a perfect happy mood ..let me write some jokes ( request : if u think they r PJ’s; plz don’t blame me)
1) Mom: - Son, go downstairs and pay the rent to owner
Geek: Lemme call him and take his account number; i will transfer it online!!
( Copyrights belong to me.. lol)
2) I watched a movie named ‘Darling’. As the name says this a love story; hero is playing tantrums to impress heroine ( girl is from Switzerland) So this fellow starts talking some crap about Switzerland to impress her. This girl turns furious; she reaches him and seriously teaches him how great india is ; when compared to Switzerland .. that therez lot of effection and love in india which you don’t find any where in the world n all that stuff. And hero seriously starts liking her more.. ( no personal statements here ; i am giving a third person narration)..
And guess what .. the scene fades to a beautiful location in Switzerland.. and a song starts between hero n heroine... lol.. lol..
Come on guys!! I know film making is all about money for many people; but still you must atleast respect ur characters.. you must atleast know what exactly you wanna show on the screen..!!
3) This joke is about myself; I am a very absent minded fellow and most of my friends know it.. well well.. some people still remember me as an ass you couldn’t expand CPU in a job interview.
So I started from howrah to hyd with a bag and a big cover stuffed with my clothes. I happily forgot everything about the cover got down in secunderabad station and directly went to swati tiffins nearby to have some breakfast!! And only after half an hour I understood that something was wrong!! And after five more minutes I understood that I left my all my clothes in the train !! I literally ran back to the station.. and the train left long back!!
So here I am ( with a single dress) and my mom told this to all our relatives and every one called me to know how I lost my dresses!! Cheers to life..
I am staying in Hyderabad in a hostel with my friend!! And all these fellows are preparing for civils!! And its real fun ... we can see those posters with writings like
“ Guidelines for next month: 1) No time waste 2) No unnecessary discussions 3) Complete seriousness!!.. needless to say what really happens is completely opposite !!
I see typical student gang here; playing cards all night and some dancing happily at night 11.30 dressed up in bunions and towels!! Not to mention those gossips on girls all night. If you are unlucky enough to receive a message from a girl saying “ good night and sweet dreams!!”.. consider yourself dead!! Not to mention those small biryani and thumps up parties they arrange at nights..so much of energies.. man I love this place!!
And let me end the blog with some of the discussions I had with a junior of mine regarding music!! A bit lengthy.. follow if ur really interested..
swathi: veena is going good; im all excited about it these days
me: excellent;i think i too must learn some instrument
lol
swathi: welcome to the club
me: sure sure
so; tell me more about veena
all technical stuff if ur free
swathi: oh yeah
veena has seven strings
four for notes, and three for rhythm indication
rhythm in music is called talam
and ragam is a unique selection of notes, which will be used all over the composition
each string plays two octaves
and a total of eight octaves can be played on the veena
me: slow slow; what are notes?
i mean lay in terms
swathi: note is a select frequency
me: okay
octaves?
swathi: every note is separated by a frequency of 16th root of 2
me: awesome; resonance stuff right?
swathi: yes\
see, sa and ri are separated by a frequency of 16th root of 2
if sa is played on x, ri is played on x into 16th root of two
me: oh god; this is superb
swathi: so, there are sixteen notes, between the lower sa and higher sa
but we play eight
hmm
it seems to rain here also
me: excellent
swathi: so, when you play from sa, as ri, ga, ma pa da ni sa,
you double the frequency
me: we will up the frequency
swathi: ya up the frequency
me: and the beauty lies in giving the right frequency change?
and then get down?
swathi: yes
the frequencies you choose
see, in music
esp instrumental
me: oh god; its great even to listen this
swathi: there are two kinds of instruments
one is discreet, like the piano
the diff between indian classical music and western classical music is that in indian, we emphasise on continuity;western ppl emphasise on discreteness
string instruments and vocal instruments are the continuous treads
indian music is very elaborate, btu so poorly documented
me: what r vocal instruments?
swathi: flute
me: okay
swathi: drums, piano are discrete
you cant generate continuous music in them
me: okay
yup...i see more continuation in veena;but in piano
we go part by part
swathi: yeah;veena is said to be a divine istrument used in ancient time for tapasu ;it has been given a lot of significance in the vedas
if you knew, sama veda is about music.. completely..so it is said to have that concentration increasing and stress relieving ability in its music
me: okay
swathi: it is a combination of math and physics to play the instrument;you remember the string problems we used to do in 12th
me: yup
swathi: we basically change the effective length of the string to change the frequency of the note
by pressing it onto a wedge
me: okay; same is the case with guitar
swathi: yeah;all string instruments mostly
so...
i dont know all that, but it is really good after you play
me: cool.. stress relief aah
swathi: like something reverberating in your mind... about three four hours, you can feel the reverberations around you
yeah
i play for an hour, and feel that for three four hours
me: excellent
i am going to learn one after some years
swathi: im sure you will love it
but be careful about the instrument you choose
me: oh; why?
swathi: you must like the music of it;then the experience is best
you will like to play all the more and you get to be all the more
me: okay;how i will know what will be good for me?
swathi: listen to various instruments and see
me: oh okay; the most mystifying for me was flute
swathi: :)
my committment to veena has been serendipity..but im loving it
classical music is a whole discipline in itself;no wonder ppl pursued it academically
me: absolutelly correcti feel; we will learn right manners in this
swathi: yeah
but it is good to see the physics behind things also
me: yup
swathi: it is so intellectually engaging, trust me
me: yup got it
swathi: hmm..
im eating off ppls brain with this infactuation these days
:P
me: We will be waiting for your concert then!!
swathi: :) nt really learning for a concert
but yes, i can play for ppl, not for fame
me: thats the best reason to give a concert
exactly
swathi: but the art is great you know..i am getting realy engrossed into it
me: awesome ;glad to here this;to tell the truth; i dont know about music much;
swathi: my teacher is awesome
me: great...but classic music ; i always sit n listen
there is that peace in it
Keep rockin

Experience!!
As I said ; I am going to keep some good works of my friends in my blog.
This particular blog; is written by Vishlesh.. 3 cheers to him!!
In the past few months, I have been bombarded by series of illogical questions that are unending and boringly repetitive. I have answers for all these questions, but I wanted to keep them for myself, it makes no point for me to propagate my ideology or to convince the speaker that I am right in my choice. They wanted me to go for my further education, to add value to myself, frankly at age of 23 you are pretty well molded into an organization, that any education that comes in the future has to be felt with the soul and heart, you cant go on pursuing something just for a future or for career or for money. I never had any kind of attachment or planning for future, whatever you plan, things are going to happen as they are bound to happen, life is just like flowing river and the banks on the either sides are experiences you gain from the past. Just as the river passes through a fertile soil carries this soil to other bank and makes it fertile. They always put two options before me, going for management education or going for technical education. I always found them unworthy. What is the need of pursuing management? What were you doing before that?, For me my life is my business and I have been managing it properly, we talk to people and manage getting our work done, we manage our time, we manage our relationships, we manage to understand psychologies of people and try to deal with them in their way, what more can management teach me, if its just finance or just other things just give me good books I will learn for myself, why do run after degrees?? If u get a degree from a prestigious institute, you become product of that brand and lose the brand value which you have had for yourself.
And for getting into technology there is a much better option than your college way, get you lot of books, this technology is just unpredictable and ever changing, so the things you learn today are just going to be obsolete in a few days, and the knowledge you have gained wouldn’t help you in anyway. Don’t pursue a degree rather pursue knowledge. I want to experience knowledge, I want my experiences to drift like feathers in the wind, let my eyes see the beauty and my heart feel the sensation of beauty, for me this is what life is meant for pursuing experiences rather than degrees. Experiencing is a phenomenon that happens before an invention, a scientist creates his model in his mind and then replicates that in a mathematical model and supports his view, so the first step to this comes from experiencing. When I was reading about aromatic nature of benzene, the scientist had a dream of serpents moving in a circle with each of its head attached to its tail. Experiencing is predecessor of understanding a subject, every subject has a frequency to which a student has to adapt to. When it comes to art, experiencing is knowledge, and experiencing is everything, In case of arts and philosophy, what is true today holds life long, there are no rules and regulation; a man can follow his free will.

To all movie freaks!!
Thanks to Vishlesh for sending a beautiful poem!!
Fortune! take back these cultured lands,
Take back this name of splendid sound!
I hate the touch of servile hands,
I hate the slaves that cringe around.
Place me among the rocks I love,
Which sound to Ocean's wildest roar;
I ask but this - again to rove
Through scenes my youth hath known before.—lord Byron!!
I thought of writing something serious after a long time!! If its too boring you better skip it and let me know!!
Getting back to the topic!! This blog is dedicated to all movie freaks!! personally I know many people who keep watching movies like freaks and who are better critics than me and who understand movies in a better way. There were days I wondered how come all these guys didn’t enter movies. But as I work more and more I basically understand the difference between watching movies and making movies. If you commit to a movie you are going to literally live with that character for absolutely one or two years. You must be aware of every shot and scene and the right emotion at every scene. Damn you have to remember it even in your sleep which is movie making where as you will spend a 3 three hour time watching movie if you are a movie lover!! Everyone wants their friends to remember them as friendly and easy going guys. But a movie maker wants to be remembered as a guy who is absolutely dedicated to movies!! And I think his pleasure lies in it!!
I met an aspiring movie director yesterday and in his words “ movie maker is a kind of parent to the movie!!” cheers buddy ; ur awesome.
Actually this blog is about him only. Name is sasidhar!! Actually i know him from my 9th standard .we were in the same hostel!! He was kind of an icon to me at that time!! If you think its for good reasons ; no; its for all bad reasons!! I still him; he woke up 8.30 when he has his board exam at 9.00. and he did clear it. Now you can understand why he became an Icon.
Then we met up again in IBM; pity i resigned very soon; came to know very less about him!!
But when we met yesterday and talked for sometime ; it was like we know each other for a long time!!
His story itself was awesome!! After his inter he went to Hyderabad for movie chances; that itself was amazing; i wouldn’t even go to next town without my parents permission by that time!! But then intermediate was too early; he couldn’t just make it and he understood the reality only after an year!! He is back again; took his long term and completed his BE in sullurpet
But his love for movies didn’t fade, he used to go by bike to Chennai and watch movies every weekend!! All the four years!! The guy even pulled in a chance two become a writer for some serial!!
And he started working on it in Chennai and was trying for contacts?
I couldn’t stop asking him how come he managed his attendance when he was staying in Chennai?
“ profs helped me a lot. I never left a subject so they know i will manage the subjects and i am trying something different too !! so they helped me “
Pity nothing runs smooth!! The serial suddenly stopped and director ate away his money!! Life is back to Basics!!
After engineering he was back to Hyderabad again. He says” Every one in my relatives were laughing at my back and they were treating me low!! When my grand mother died i couldn’t even go there. I am an emotional guy and in an impulse i entered IBM; i don’t know if its a mistake or not; but i learnt some realities and now i know the realities; I will be very careful and i will make it this time”
Awesome bro; you seriously rock!! All the very best. You will make it big.
Best part of it is; he is a perfect opposite to me; i am a kind of guy who takes up easy going and positive stuff and he takes problems and thoughts of lower middle class and a bit tougher aspects!! I can never write a story about a prostitute and a bartender i would limit myself to students; writers and artists but he can easily write on that stuff!!
Ha says “ I love to live in other peoples lives!! Why they do it; what do they think!!”
We sat in afternoon and we kept talking till night; time just flew away!! It was an excellent treat. And the feeling was mutual.
Its always a treat to catch up with new people and discuss new ideas with them.
He told me some very interesting inside stories too!! “ they play many tactics; when some unit is about to start a project ; I know a girl who celebrated her birthday and called everyone of them!! Heaven knows when is her birthday; its just a tactic; and when they are trying to cast; she easily got the role!!They spend some money and they will get their chances ; its all about making them remember you. Even if you need to meet a famous actor you need to bribe their manager”
Oh my goodness; i just wish i wont end up with these fellows; its just horrible!!
Keep rockin

Good Old Days!!!
Statuary Warning: Don’t expect anything less than a big essay!!
Books are something that’s very very close to me!! Once my Editing is done i know i will have some free time for some days ; all I did was to rush to college street to buy some books in Calcutta. And it was a pleasure to read ‘A beautiful mind’ ( life story of a mathematician). She says “ generally mathematicians give up after searching solution for a month. But Nash was different; he gets himself involved more and more if he finds it more difficult; he takes one year or more to come up with the solution.” Sure like hell this guy has an excellent sub-conscious brain and he used it to the best. But the point is the same; at your toughest times; you don’t get down but you keep your best efforts out there . this will definitely help. But there were sometimes i feel i should have kept more effort out there and could have made it better. Ultimately its all about learning and learning more and about improvisation. I just hope I wont repeat the mistakes again.
Let me just write here some beautiful sentences I read !!( Charles Brown from Blood Orchid.)
“Now I dream of the soft touch of women, the songs of birds , the smell of soil crumbling between my fingers and the brilliant green of the plants that I diligently nurture. I am looking for land to buy and i will sow it with deer and wild pigs and birds and cottonwoods and sycamores and build a pond and ducks will come and fish will rise in the early evening light and take the insects into their jaws. There will be paths through this forest and you and i will lose ourselves in the soft curves and folds of the ground. We will come to the water’s edge and lie on the grass and there will be a small , unobtrusive sign that says, “THIS IS THE REAL WORLD AND WE ARE ALL IN IT!!”.
Awesome words ; very occasionally we find such beautiful works!! 3 cheers to you man.
Getting back to the topic; I went for a friend’s marriage recently . Me and another intermediate friend of mine decided to visit our good old intermediate college. And the visit was something special for both of us.
And before I get on with with my trip; i need to introduce my friend . He is BBGTS Murthy ( Baththala Bala Gangadhar tilak Santhosha Murthy) in short Murthy for all of us. He is a as big hearted as his name. But ask me whatz the best of him i would say his love for food. I just love it. I love food myself but there might be days you know i might just feel bored of eating but i never saw this fellow missing his chance. He even bunked his classes while preparing for civils to continue his lunch. I Just love to watch him!! Its something i really cherish; its like someone is telling me “ to hell with everything in this world; let me enjoy this moment”
Needles to say we are very close!! And getting back to the trip; we were visiting the college almost after eight years and I started to wonder what happened to those eight years its like time ran like hell. My friend was also saying “ mama ; it was eight years but we are the same fellows ; stupid and fresh” .. lol.
Yeah ; really true !! man actually i started making some good friends only when I was in intermediate almost all the gang is in touch till now. I met some incredible people; and some funny incidents. Thanks to the free accommodation they offered for my tenth class mugging. When i entered the i was in such a force to crack IIT and in a month i understood that aint my principal goal; i started writing some poems and some stories. Thanks to all the mates who read them patiently. To tell the truth i will kill myself if i read them again now.
And we were very thick friends; always bunking classes and playing cricket in the near by open area or exploring the near forests. We even discovered some skull and bones one day. I couldn’t even sleep that night totally terrified. And not to mention that pad and paper ball cricket ; we used to have fierce competition.I became too over confident; used to say i can study everything myself; used to complain that some of the professors weren’t upto the mark. No doubt studies went bad; actually culdnt even get a proper rank in EAMCET forget about. My parents were totally disappointed. Then somehow i did put in some reasonable effort and made it to ISM next year. But looking back; i am happy i made all those mistakes and mischiefs; as a fact i feel a guy at 18 should do some mistakes; you cant take everything seriously from that age. If i get back those days i just wanna commit one more mistake i should have ran after a girl; and should have written some good love-letters ( you know all that childish stuff) that would have made me a better writer at least but mainly because you cant find such innocence ( some say ignorance ) now ; we calculate everything now !!
There was this guy Aditya who used to tell me Hollywood stories sci-fi stories (hallow-man; Jurassic park;Aliens and all .. this was the first time i ever heard of English movies) and i was absolutely fascinated with those stories.I used to tell everyone that i am going to become a Hollywood director and i will make scientific movies. And friends used to laugh at me ( at my back too). I even wrote a sci-fi which is a mix of all the stories aditya told me. Thank god i didn’t have money at that time; if not i would have made worst movie ever made in the history of movies.
There are so many things to write ..canteen; hostel jokes ;.. well ofcourse i met some real intelligent people too; IIT 18th ranker was among us; the guy used to so silent !! but you will see a pure genius in him once he starts started problems!! It was a pleasure. And more funny incident i remember was that i ended up on stage on august 15th and protested that the administration isn’t allowing us to go out even on independence day!! And again my love for strikes started here!! We started a big fight for a holiday on ganesh jayanti ; and I went home after igniting the strike and when i came back i came to know all those who started that fight (we used to call that hit-list) were taken in a special bus to another campus and were given some special treatment .( we used call that Bus incident). I didn’t know any it till i came back and every one was saying “ lucky f***er; you escaped.”
Watching girls was the new hobby added to the list.and ofcourse reading some crap porn books started at that time only. And all the gossip in those study hours too . we used to sit in chairs in rows and used to chit chat all the time and comment every girl and lady warden who crossed us. Saying all this we were never bad, we were just too young and too energetic ; we came to know that girls liked our comments too. I still remember some beautiful things. There is a hill very near our hostel and a temple on it ; on new year eve; all girls of our batch (dressed up smart) were coming from the temple. We were taunting all the way and some us were shouting ‘happy new year’ n ‘happy new year’. Lady warden was yelling at us and is forcing them not to look at us; and they crossed us; but i just don’t how they got the guts; suddenly everyone of them started shouting back.. ‘ Happy new year’!! man that was Awesome!!
So many things and so many people i can write about; All I can say is it was very much fun; Engineering and inter both were simply superb.
And now getting back to a serious topic ; one of my friend asked “ mama when are you going to make a full commercial picture”.. i just told him thats not possible; thats just aint my type; I am perfectly happy making my kind of movies; i would be more than happy if i can get reasonable profit that can support me. I would be a happy man!!. After all you spend 2 years in making a movie ; finally if you don’t enjoy the work; its like two years wasted in life. I prefer to sit in IBM and start coding than that stuff.
But all I dream is of an excellent team; they wouldn’t worry about name or money or anything thats material ; to make an excellent movie should be our only dream!! May be some day I will find such team and make a movie that would make me happy.. thats my best dream!!
Just keep rockin
